HELP FOR LOWER BACK PAIN

Posted: 02.7.2018

A possible treatment for chronic lower-back pain may be the use of
custom-made orthotics. A recent study of adults with lower-back pain
(for longer than 3 months) found that the use of orthotics reduced pain
by 34% and improved function by 18%. These numbers jumped to 40% and 32%
respectively when the orthotics were combined with chiropractic
therapies and massage. The American College of Physicians lists spinal
manipulation as one of the treatments for acute and chronic low-back
pain. Caution: Some conditions may preclude these therapies, so check
with your doctor before starting chiropractic treatments.
